Previously, I have served as the senior staff photographer, and photo editor. I learned how to write stories and take photos during my time in the Army, and I loved writing and photography enough to major in journalism. I'm also majoring in political science.

Most importantly, I spend most of my free time with my three-year-old son Salah elDean.

My hobbies include photography, dad jokes, politics, reading, playing with my son in my backyard, and making pop culture references everyone is too young to understand.
